A runner couldn’t have asked for more perfect racing conditions for Sunday’s Erie Marathon at Presque Isle State Park with cool temps and zero precipitation. I’m sure there were a lot of P.R.’s set Sunday, including my husband, Dan, who ran a 1:35 in the half. Running Wild blogger, Rhonda Berlin, set a P.R. in the half-marathon, too.

There were 797 finishers in the half-marathon, 519 in the marathon and 137 in the 5K for a total of almost 1,500 participants.
